related_to: A relation of a person

In tarakc02/discoveryengine: A CADS Prospecting Tool

A relation of a person

Description

For an existing disco engine list definition, get relations of those entities. Not entering any relationship type codes results in finding all relations (brothers, sisters, colleagues, spouses, etc.).

Usage

related_to(savedlist, ..., comment = NULL)

Arguments

savedlist	A discoveryengine definition
...	Relationship type codes (relation_type_code). Leave empty to search for all relationships.

Details

Many relationship types in CADS have multiple codes, to represent each side of the relationship type. For instance, "Mother" is encoded by both "SM" (presumably for "Son-Mother") and "DM" ("Daughter-Mother"). This can lead to confusion and frustration, so be sure that you're including all relevant codes. You can do so by using synonym lookup or just using synonyms in your definition (see examples).

See Also

parent_of, child_of

Examples

## say we want to identify siblings of founders
## start by identifying founders, via the founders pledge
founder = has_affiliation(founders_pledge)

## brother and sister each have two different codes (see details above)
founder_sibling = related_to(founder, brother, sister)
display(founder_sibling)
